So much easier than using the IR filters - you can retain decent exposures giving you more flexibility with smaller apertures
Particularly like 4, 6 and 7

Excellent set of images, I like all of them! Thank you for sharing.
I remember reading about Pentax lenses suitable for IR photography some years ago on this forum, possibly comments from "Aliengrove" (Jon Bowles). The DA18-55mm and the DA15/4 were amongst the lenses mentioned. Anyway I am using these two lenses om my IR converted (830nm) Pentax camera and they function well.

Thought I would share a few images that I shot today when I was out and about. Purchased Lenny's IR converted K7 and bolted onto the front my FA 35mm f2 lens for a quick walkabout. These are all taken with a custom white balance (taken from the grass) and then a IR channel swap in Lr to swap the natural orange hue for a more pleasing blue.
Consulted the IR lens database (HERE) and now on the hunt for a standard zoom lens to finish off this IR set up.
